Arthrogryposis-renal dysfunction-cholestasis (ARC) syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the VPS33B encoding the vacuolar protein sorting 33B (VPS33B), which is involved in the intracellular protein sorting and vesicular trafficking. We report a rare case of ARC syndrome without arthrogryposis caused by a novel mutation of VPS33B. A female patient of Greek origin presented on the 14th day of life with renal tubular acidosis, Fanconi syndrome, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, and cholestasis with normal gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, without arthrogryposis and dysmorphic features. She was born to apparently healthy, nonconsanguineous parents. Additional features included dry and scaling skin, generalized hypotonia, hypoplastic corpus callosum, neurodevelopmental delay, failure to thrive, short stature, recurrent febrile episodes with and without infections, and gastrointestinal bleeding. DNA testing revealed that the patient was homozygous for the novel c.1098_1099delTG (p.Glu367Alafs∗17) mutation of exon 14 of VPS33B gene (NM_018668) on chromosome 15q26.1, leading to a nonsense frameshift variant of VPS33B with premature termination of translation. Her parents were heterozygous for the same VPS33B mutation. The prognosis was predictably poor in the context of the intractable polyuria necessitating long-term parenteral fluid administration via indwelling central catheter leading to catheter-related sepsis, to which she eventually succumbed at the age of 7 months. This is the first published VPS33B mutation in an ARC patient of Greek origin. The current case adds to the spectrum of ARC-associated VPS33B mutations and provides evidence supporting the existence of incomplete ARC phenotype. Increased awareness and early genetic testing for ARC are suggested in cases with isolated cholestasis and/or renal tubular dysfunction, even in the absence of arthrogryposis.

SummaryGenetic materials from 16 unrelated Japanese patients with von Willebrand disease (vWD) were analyzed for mutations. Exon 28 of the von Willebrand factor (vWF) gene, where point mutations have been found most frequent, was screened by various restriction-enzyme analyses. Six patients were observed to have abnormal restriction patterns. By sequence analyses of the polymerase chain-reaction products, we identified a homozygous R1308C missense mutation in a patient with type 2B vWD; R1597W, R1597Q, G1609R and G1672R missense mutations in five patients with type 2A; and a G1659ter nonsense mutation in a patient with type 3 vWD. The G1672R was a novel missense mutation of the carboxyl-terminal end of the A2 domain. In addition, we detected an A/C polymorphism at nucleotide 4915 with HaeIII. There was no particular linkage disequilibrium of the A/C polymorphism, either with the G/A polymorphism at nucleotide 4391 detected with Hphl or with the C/T at 4891 detected with BstEll.

SummaryChristmas disease was first reported as a distinct clinical entity in two manuscripts published in 1952 (1, 2). The eponym associated with this disorder, is the surname of the first patient examined in detail and reported by Biggs and colleagues in a paper describing the clinical and laboratory features of seven affected individuals (3). This patient has severe factor IX coagulant deficiency (less than 0.01 units/ml) and no detectable circulating factor IX antigen (less than 0.01 units/ml). Coding sequence and splice junctions of the factor IX gene from this patient have been amplified in vitro through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). One nucleotide substitution was identified at nucleotide 30,070 where a guanine was replaced by a cytosine. This mutation alters the amino acid encoded at position 206 in the factor IX protein from cysteine to serine. The non conservative nature of this substitution, the absence of this change in more than 200 previously sequenced factor IX genes and the fact that the remainder of the coding region of this gene was normal, all provide strong circumstantial evidence in favour of this change being the causative mutation in this patient. The molecular characterization of this novel mutation in the index case of Christmas disease, contributes to the rapidly expanding body of knowledge pertaining to Christmas disease pathogenesis.
